Rebecca Hawkes Daily Telegraph (UK) In cinemas, it might have been overshadowed by flashier rivals, but perhaps, on demand, this slow, but winningly bleak little tale will find the audience it deserves. Rated: 4/5 Aug 26, 2019 Full Review Brian Lowry CNN.com [1922] is a credible addition to a filmography where practically every thought the writer commits to paper is, seemingly, deemed fit for the screen. Oct 20, 2017 Full Review Brian Tallerico RogerEbert.com The familiar case of a short story stretched too thin in a feature film. Rated: 2/4 Oct 20, 2017 Full Review John Campea The John Campea Show The performances are great from top-to-bottom...this was a movie that probably should have been on the big screen. Mar 24, 2023 Full Review Zach Dionne Decider 1922 is a new type of Stephen King movie, executed with as much artistic inventiveness as passionate faithfulness. Mar 10, 2023 Full Review Jonathon Wilson Ready Steady Cut 1922 is an effective, chilling bit of work that boasts a revelatory lead performance and a compelling, gradual erosion of a man's psyche.

Bryan C Some people say this is a slow movie and that “it’s too boring” but they are wrong, this movie is a masterpiece, every minute is tense and amazing. Don’t let the poor reviews bother you, this is well worth your time. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/05/24 Full Review Omari S This movie is pretty boring after the first 15-20 minutes or so. Once the main guy kills his wife it’s pretty much a snooze fest. You can probably guess the plot right after he kills his wife too. Son gets mad, runs off, gets himself and his girlfriend killed, and the father has to continue living while his psyche deteriorates. A let down considering Stephen King’s novella was based on this… Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 09/23/24 Full Review Julian S Even with its slower moments, the narrative remains compelling, offering a thoughtful study of the human psyche and the choices that haunt us. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 09/03/24 Full Review Jeromiah W Honestly, this movie is bad. It's not on the cinematic side as much as the storyline. It was so slow of a movie I couldn't keep watching. I have been watching it for 2 days and kept falling asleep. It's very forgettable. After they killed his wife there was no more thrill to the story, nothing to make me remember anything. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 08/17/24 Full Review Oaklee D Loved it, in the same vein as The Devil All The Time & The House That Jack Built Rated 4 out of 5 stars 08/05/24 Full Review Ordraude I É um filme muito intrigante, ele mexe muito com seu psicológico de certa forma, e é bem nojento, bastante traumático e com certeza é um bom filme.
